Description
The human brain may be the most complex device in the known universe, but it's far from perfect. Neuroscientist Dean Buonomano reveals the intricate limitations and blessings that shape our lives through colorful examples and surprising research. Our brains are susceptible to advertisements, false memories can form, and we make misguided decisions in personal, professional, and financial matters. Brain Bugs explains the brain's inherent flaws and provides tools to counteract them, helping us understand why we think and behave in certain ways. By exploring these blind spots and weaknesses, Buonomano offers a unique perspective on how our brains work and how we can improve ourselves.
